[QUOTE="klmno, post: 207000, member: 3699"] Thanks all! I just got back from taking him to school. He said he was having sleep problems and getting up is hard and I believe him. The psychiatrist said yesterday he thinks there is an anxiety issue here and I agree (I have one myself and have seen signs of snxiety for a while in difficult child). psychiatrist also ordered a blood draw and included a glucose test on top of the typical. I emailed the CM at school and told her he hadn't felt well this morning (he looks like c**p) and explained what was going on. Hopefully, they won't mark it down as unexcused. I really like slsh's idea. I think I will do that. Mainly because whether or not my specific choices are the ones she would or wouldn't make is not the point to me. She is the PO, not a family therapist. She apparently thinks that because I come from such a sick, dysfunctional family that I couldn't possibly know how to make a wise parental decision. Never mind that I've been doing it for 13+ years. And she apparently believes it is her obligation or at least option to tell us whether or not each decision meets her approval. I think she should be concentrating on making sure difficult child is compliant with the court order and rules of probation. She knows a therapist is involved so even if she didn't agree with something and was concerned that it might be effecting difficult child, she should be leaving that up to the therapist, in my humble opinion. Yes, I think a letter is in order. Thank you!! PS. I think her step-sons are younger than difficult child and haven't reached the age where all H**L breaks loose yet- just wait until she's dealing with that! And, I had discussed the game issue with psychiatrist about 1 or 2 years ago. He said the violent games have an impact on kids, even easy child kids, and people just haven't realized it yet because it doesn't show up as a problem until later. Not that it will be a problem with all kids, but that it does impact all of them. And he said with a difficult child, you have to be even more careful. So, I feel comfortable with my approach to this. [/QUOTE]
